00:00I am disappointed but not shocked. It is terrible that we are closing routes to
00:16legal immigration. I expect that this will be challenged in the courts. Based
00:26on the prior travel bans, there will be an emphasis on the way countries were
00:33included and excluded. Why is Afghanistan first on the list, for example? And there
00:40will be challenges based on the process by which individuals with ties to the U.S.
00:46can seek waivers and other exemptions from these overall bans. The Supreme
00:54Court made different decisions based on the facts of the different travel bans
01:00and I believe a fact-specific inquiry is likely to follow when this is
01:05challenged before lower courts and ultimately the Supreme Court. Let me
01:10start by saying that it's a different list of countries. So the version that the
01:16Supreme Court allowed to go forward excluded some of the countries initially
01:20listed, I expect this Supreme Court, these lower courts, to start looking at the
01:25justifications for particular countries. I personally am deeply concerned, indeed
01:31ashamed, that the first country on that list is Afghanistan. I think that we have
01:38behaved in a variety of ways that are unacceptable and by denying people who
01:49supported the U.S. and their families what we promised them, we are not behaving in an
01:59acceptable or responsible way. So I believe the first scrutiny will be on who is
02:03included and for what reasons, and then we will need to think a lot about who should
02:09be able to petition to be exempt from this very broad-ranging measure. Misinformation is a major problem for everyone,
02:18for everyone, but it is especially so for migrants and refugees because there is this
02:24industry, the smuggling industry, that has a business model that's often reliant on
02:30misinformation and competes with governments that often don't communicate in the
02:35language of migrants. So governments are often not in a position to communicate in
02:44the correct languages, in a trustworthy manner. So I think the misinformation
02:49environment will only facilitate risky and unauthorized smuggling. This is why closing
02:59down legal pathways, closing down the ability of the U.S. to vet very, very extensively who
03:05comes in and who comes, who does not, is so disappointing to me.
03:35A photo can be played so well despite the CASA but this can be most vital when it is
03:41in a position to be commissioned as a tool. It wouldmente work, if you do not, will be
03:46that often sooner and easier ads if you follow up on the right before. So if you do not
03:51data, it will pretty much be able to remember.
03:52Sometimes, at least they could have a problem if you do not talk about your
03:55nomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnom song, that works really well. So you may find a quick
03:59history and difficult or from Russian cultural stories, that would be, say, you can
